Anyone think that there are some guys in the National Guard in Iraq...

...right now who would like to "work it out with the military" to get out 6 months early to go to school? I bet there are a lot of them.

<snip>Another question is why he was allowed to end Guard duty about six months early to attend Harvard Business School. Bush said on NBC that he had "worked it out with the military. And I'm just telling you, I did my duty."

2. Or How About.....

"...taking a year off to work on my friend's senate campaign"

3. I 'll bet there are National Guardsmen who just want to be let out when

their time was up. They are on a stop-loss and so the Government whelched on the contract. It is a contract and if the individual breached that contract they would (if their name wasn't Bush*) pay a penalty. The Government can break any contract and get off scott-free. Scott-free ~ is that an ethnic saying?

4. Now that is the kind of follow up question Russet usually never

fails to miss, say when the candidate is Howard Dean.
